New Pearl White S4 Question **newbie**
Hey All,
This is my first post, I took the plunge and sold My 98 540i and bought a 2001 S4 pearl white. What is the best wax, are there any issues with the Pearl paint? The car has NAV, is it any good? The NAV control **** broke on the test drive
. What is the best break in procedures with the twin turbo's?
I also notice a lot of people have cool signatures, is there a guide to make them on this site.
Thanks in Advance,
TAXFREE<ul><li><a href="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1575210&a=11974920&p=49607950&Sequence=0&re s=high">http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1575210&a=11974920&p=49607950&Sequence=0&re s=high</a</li></ul>

Break-in procedure is outlined in your Owner's Manual.....
...although some people believe you should "drive it as if you stole it" right from the beginning.
On the other end of the spectrum is this procedure:
<a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/154153.phtml">Ben Slosser's guide to 4-stroke engine break-in</a>
As far as wax goes, I'm really partial to One Grand Blitz Wax....does a fantastic job of protecting the finish, is very durable, and offers a great shine. Here's my '97 A4 after a waxing (Meguiar's clay, 3M Imperial Hand Glaze & One Grand Blitz Wax):

As far as the sig's go, you'll need to create something in Photoshop (or similar program) and then upload the image to the Picture Poster area. You can then add the URL into your signature area.
For a pic in your sig:

For a link in your sig pic:

Feel free to snag any A4 photos if you want them....
...I have a ton more. I could burn a CD of them and mail it to you if you want them. Just drop me an e-mail if you'd like me to do that.

Re: New Pearl White S4 Question **newbie**
Biggest worry I have with Pearl White is that finding touch-up paint is, um, not fun. The audi kit is apparently 3 bottles of stuff, but I've never seen one.
